Looking for that right mid-size car? Compare the Ford Fusion and the Chevrolet Malibu to see which one is the best fit for you!

To start off, both vehicles are fully capable mid-size sedans that offer spaciousness, great fuel economy, cargo space, and unbelievable comfort. With the new sleek exterior and interior designs along with the technological capabilities, both vehicles are enjoyable to drive and happen to lean a little more towards the luxury side of the driving world.

But what sets them apart?

The first thing to look at when comparing these two vehicles is the price difference. The Chevrolet Malibu wins, but only by a small amount as both sedans land around the low $20,000s. Drivers find that with the Ford Fusion, out of the five trims, that the SE model serves the most bang for your buck, even though all Fusions are pretty nice. As for the Chevrolet Malibu, there are four trims, along with two engines to choose from, giving the buyer some customizable options.

Something to also remember when it comes to the different trims with both of these sedans is that the Ford Fusion comes standard with a rear back up camera, which the Malibu doesn't. Sometimes that can end up being the deal breaker if you aren't the best at parking.

If you are someone who doesn't travel lightly, then the Ford Fusion might just be the fit for you since it wins when it comes to cargo space. The Fusion has a very impressive 16 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk. This ranks quite highly in the family of mid-size sedans. With it's 60/40 folding back seats and an incredibly wide trunk opening with a low floor, loading everything you need for your travels will now be a breeze!

If you enjoy interior features, the Chevrolet Malibu will catch your eye! After the base trim of the Malibu, enjoy features such as Chevy's MyLink infotainment system, a much larger touch screen to navigate everything you'll need when driving, both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wifi-hotspot, and much more. 

Need for speed? The Ford Fusion will be the best fit for you! Check out the Sport Edition with its 325-horsepower twin-turbocharged 2.7 liter, EcoBoost V6. With no doubt, this vehicle will quench your thirst for speed.

Another strong point to touch on and the last point that we are going to cover is the Fuel Economy. If you are a penny pincher (no worries, this isn't a bad thing) then you might want to take another look at the Chevrolet Malibu. With an excellent EPA-estimated 27 mpg while driving through the city to 36 mpg when hitting the highway, this mid-size sedan will be saving you extra dollars. As for the Fusion, the gas mileage may not be as good, but it still is pretty decent. The Ford Fusion get 21 mpg when driving in the city and 32 mpg while on the highway. Not too shabby!
